Prohibited Persons Program
SACRAMENTO
Attorney General Kamala
D. Harris applauded Governor Jerry Brown for signing a
bill that provides $24 million
for a Department of Justice
program, that takes firearms
out of the hands of individuals
who are prohibited by law from
owning them.
“California is leading the
nation in a common-sense effort to protect public safety by
taking guns away from dangerous, violent individuals who are
prohibited by law from owning
them,” said Attorney General
Harris. “These funds will allow
the Department of Justice to
increase the number of agents
conducting these smart and effective operations. I commend
Governor Brown for signing
this critical public safety investment into law.”
Senate Bill 140, which takes
effect immediately, will allow
the Attorney General to hire

Solar Impulse- The solar
airplane of Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg,
successfully launched the
“Clean Generation” initiative
by completing the first leg
of the 2013 Across America
mission – the first crossing of
the United States by a solarpowered airplane capable of
flying day and night.
Pilot Bertrand Piccard
took off from Moffett Airfield
in Mountain View at NASA’s
Ames Research Center (CA)
at 06:12 AM PDT (UTC-7)
and, after a 18 hours and 18
minutes flight from southern
California, over the Mojave
National Preserve and into
Arizona, he landed the HBSIA prototype at 00:30 AM
MST (UTC-7) at Phoenix’s
Sky Harbor International
Airport.

This is the first of five legs
that will lead the project’s
co-founders, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg,
to alternately fly the solar
airplane coast-to-coast from
California to New York. By
crossing the United States
André Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard are launching
the “Clean Generation” initiative – a global awarenessraising movement advocating for greater investment in
innovative technologies for
sustainable energy production and use.
Thousands of Supporters
worldwide have joined the
movement and their names
will be virtually brought by
the pilots across America
with use of a USB key – and
with every stop over more
names will be added. All

36 additional agents for the
Armed and Prohibited Persons
program (APPS). It will enable
the Department of Justice to increase enforcement operations
in Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Sacramento, Fresno and Riverside.
California is the only state
with a program like APPS,
which identifies people who
previously purchased one or
more guns, but are later prohibited from owning them. A person becomes prohibited if he or
she is convicted of a felony or a
violent misdemeanor, is placed
under a domestic violence
restraining order or is determined to be mentally unstable.
Senate Bill 140, by Senator
Mark Leno, appropriates $24
million to the Department of
Justice, from a fund created by
fees paid by gun owners at the
time of purchase to hire additional agents and support staff.
Upon taking office in 2011, Attorney General Harris added 10

agents to the program, making
a total of 33, in order to increase
the number of guns confiscated
from prohibited persons. Over
the last two years, DOJ agents
have investigated nearly 4,000
people and seized nearly 4,000
weapons, including nearly
2,000 handguns and more
than 300 assault weapons. In
the first three months of 2013,
agents have collected 461 firearms and 23,080 rounds of
ammunition.
The APPS database crossreferences five databases to
identify those who legally purchased handguns and registered assault weapons since
1996, with people who are
prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.
The database was completed in November 2006, and the
first statewide sweep was conducted in 2007.

Paid for by Cindy Chavez for Supervisor

Beginning May 6, 2013
the Registrar of Voters will
have mailed out official ballots to some 72% of the registered voters residing within
Supervisor District 2, whose
seat is vacant due to the resignation of George Shirakawa,
Jr. It’s an important factor to
consider that currently the
Board of Supervisors has no
elected woman even though
52% of the resident population throughout the county
are women. It would be a
good thing for District 2 constituents to elect a woman
because the county deals
with $4.2 billion in resources
which are mainly allocated
to support services for public
safety & security, transportation, education, the needy,
elderly, mental health, social
and medical services. These
are all matters which require
the tender touch and perspective of a woman.
District Two residents
need to know that this opportunity to elect a woman was
created by the accurate investigative reporting of the San
Jose Metro, an independent
locally owned newspaper
published by Dan Pulcrano.
There are seven candidates
for this vacant seat, however,
Alvarado and Chavez, seem
to be the front-runners today.
TERESA ALVARADO
has degrees in environmental technology, civil engineering and management (SJSU
and Tufts University). She
has worked for NASA, headed the Hispanic Foundation
of Silicon Valley, co-founded
Latina Coalition of Silicon
Valley, and currently is Communications Manager, Santa
Clara Valley Water District.
Her job experiences have
been in for-profit, non-profit,
and federal government or-

ganizations. She was raised
in San Jose’s East Side Community and still has family
ties in the East Sude Community.
Alvarado has shown her
commitment to her community by: a) Providing scholarships encouraging women to
attend college after having
had their families; b) Programs to control childhood
obesity; c) Promoting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); d)
Championing parks, open
space and trails; e) Informing the community about the
importance of a child’s first
five years; and f) Honoring
families for their dedication
to community service.
Teresa has proposed a
reform agenda which addresses the current need for
a county government which
is accessible and transparent. Her proposals include:
a) Publishing online calendar
for all county elected officials;
b) Disclosure of all communications seeking to influence
county policy; c) Appoint an
independent citizens task
force to propose a new Sunshine ordinance; d) Have an
‘Integrity Unit’ charged with
investigating any improprieties brought up by whistleblowers; e) Schedule Board
meeting during evening
hours to permit more citizen
engagement/involvement.
An overview of CINDY
CHAVEZ’s personal experiences reveals she was elected
to the San Jose City Council and was ‘Vice-Mayor’
(1998-2006). Chavez: led
the Strong Neighborhoods
Initiative (Redevelopment
funds); Children’s Health
Initiative; Brought new jobs
by expanding commercial
office and retail space and
bringing BART to San Jose;
and Championed disclosures to increase government
transparency and accountability. Chavez is currently
Executive Director, Working
Partnerships USA and former Director, South Bay La-

bor Council, Chavez led the
successful efforts to increase
San Jose’s minimum wage
and to stabilize county funding for the Children’s Health
Initiative.
Chavez supporters include union members whose
pensions may be involved in
any assessment of unfunded
pension obligations. One of
the major issues which the
County of Santa Clara needs
to address in an open and
transparent fashion soon
is its public employee pension funding. Are there any
union pension agreements
which have not been properly funded after evaluation
by a professioal actuary?
Like the City of San Jose, the
County must face up to pension payouts compromising
its ability to pay for the public
services now being delivered.
Chavez has a history of being
an effective union labor advocate/negotiator. Will Cindy
be able to be objective given
her long association with labor unions and their political
machinery?
Here are two Latinas, both
well qualified and with a history of local communty activism and advocacy. Hopefully,
one will receive more than
50% vote to eliminate the
need for a run-off election.
More importantly, this election will place the people’s
choice on the Board of Supervisors sooner rather than
later. Do not under estimate
the impact of having a woman included in all supervisor’s
deliberations about public
policy issues being addressed
in this time of restricted resources and limited tax revenues.
The best election outcome
is getting a large number of
District 2 constitutents to
vote in their own best interests. Let’s have a fairly contested election. One wherein
no one distributes ‘very late
negative hit pieces or deploys
scam Mail-In-Vote couriers.
Let’s keep this election above
board.

Letter to the Editor
The campaign to fill the
vacant District 2 seat on the
Santa Clara County Board of
Supervisors is in full swing
with more than a half dozen
candidates vying for the seat.
The district represents downtown and East SanJose.
Former San Jose Vice Mayor
Cindy Chavez is running because she wants to help make
this city and county a safe and
enjoyable place for everyone. Cindy Chavez has been
a driving force in Silicon Valley politics, social justice and
labor issues for more than
two decades. As a two-term
member of the San Jose City
Council, including serving
two years as Vice Mayor, she
built a strong reputation as
an advocate for improving
the quality of life throughout
San Jose. She was a leader

in developing cutting-edge
community-based programs
to address crime, education,
small business development,
park improvements and
neighborhood revitalization.
The Democratic Party knows
Cindy will work hard to improve public safety, and make
sure children have access to
health care, and the education
they need to compete for the
future.
The campaign that raised
the minimum wage in San
Jose to $10 an hour, one
of the highest levels in the
country, was largely successful because of Chavez’s
leadership at the South Bay
Labor Council and Working
Partnerships USA. In a city
that’s among the most expensive places to live in the coun-

try, tens of thousands of people
are now better able to support
themselves and their families.
Former Vice Mayor Chavez
wants to be part of a county
government that makes every
attempt to engage the public
in a meaningful and thoughtful way. Cindy is the only candidate in the race endorsed
by the Democratic Party
and every law enforcement
organization in the county.
She will work hard to
make Santa Clara County a
better place for everyone. The
special election is June 4th.
Sincerely,
Steve Preminger, Chair
Santa Clara County
Democratic Party

At a theater room in an
engineering building at San
Jose State University a large
drum rang through the walls
at the commencement of a
community lecture by author Luis J. Rodriguez. He
is known for his tales of living and breathing in a gang
world: the violence, uncertainty, and 3-dimensional
characterization of that lifestyle. The drum circle was
meant to represent the spirituality of rising above adversity.

His views on community
involvement in empowering
youth involved knowledge
and artistry. He commented
that when someone grows
up in an environment full of
danger, drugs, and general
dismay there is no imagination nor progression in that
person. His most famous
book, and as it turns out one
of the most read books in the
audience, “Always Running”
,was written to try to help his
son understand the negativity that being in a gang creates. The book, written in
1992, talks about the hardships of poverty, racial oppression and gang life.

For the Thursday May 2nd
community meeting, filled to
capacity with mostly youth,
Mr. Rodriguez spoke about
his experiences in gangs and
the battle to change himself
in order to help the youth
that are frequently the target of veteran gang members

Mr. Rodriguez went on to
describe the ways in which
knowledge can be passed
down to those that are involved in gangs, and help

5

them steer away from that
lifestyle. He did agree with
members of the audience
who described situations
where family members, and
countless others, are born
into a life of gang membership. In some of these the
parents of the children were
active gang members, so it’s
difficult to assist those in
these situations. His views
involved “healing and behavior modification”, which
included reconnecting with
troubled individuals in order
to teach them to change from
the gang mentality.
After an interesting Q &
A with his audience, he concluded with, “In order to be a
complete human being you
must be a complete artist.”
He added, that whatever you
are enthusiastic about, “that’s
the life you were meant to
live. Your passion.”

These days, you needn’t be a Gates or a Trump to be successful. The right tools and attitude can make all the difference. (c) mangostock - Fotolia.com

Tired of taking orders?
Have a great business idea?
May, which is National Small
Business Month, is a great
time to think about starting
your own endeavor.
But do you have what it
takes to do it all yourself?
A new survey of business
owners, conducted by Deluxe, a provider of marketing
services and products to small
businesses, concludes that
small business owners share
many of the same tendencies
and even similar personal histories -- a sort of unique DNA
that allows them to thrive.

For example, when it
comes to heredity and actual
DNA, 76 percent of small
business owners have relatives who owned businesses.
And 86 percent are ultra-confident, believing they can do
anything they really set their
mind to. Most interestingly,
the research found a tendency

to try and fail, then succeed.
Seventy-seven percent of
small business owners surveyed said they would rather
learn from failure than never
try at all.
In time for National Small
Business Month, here are
some tips for those looking to
launch businesses:
• Do your research: While
starting a business involves
risk, you can mitigate some
uncertainty with proper research. In fact, seventy-nine
percent of small business
owners research products before purchasing, according to
the survey -- a tendency that
far exceeds that of the general
population.
Have a clear understanding of your market, competitors, expected startup costs,
overhead and return on investment. Know who your
customer base will be and
learn about them.
• Build a brand: Powerful branding differentiates a
company from its competi-

tors, making it easier for customers to choose that company for business relationships,
and allows a company to get
referral business.
However, don’t wing it
yourself on your home computer. A professional design
team can help you stand out
for the right reasons.
• Communicate: Whether
you’re providing legal services
or you’re a roofing contractor,
technology has made it easier
for business owners to establish themselves as experts by
sharing their knowledge with
current and potential customers. Use social media tools to
deliver news, offer information and provide deals and
promotions.
• Optimize: If you build
a website will they come?
Not necessarily. Text-based
content is how Google determines what a site is about. Be
sure to add keywords to your
title page, page description,
meta tags and headlines.

Understanding Financial Aid
Award Letters: Compare Costs

(NAPSI)
When comparing college
costs, one of a student’s first
steps should be filling out the
FAFSA (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid). Then,
students begin receiving back
financial aid award letters
from the colleges they’ve applied to. These letters outline
the estimated cost to attend
the school, expected family contribution and financial
aid award package, which
includes grants, scholarships,
work-study, need-based and
non-need-based loans.
Your financial aid letter
may look different this year.
Colleges have the option of
using the U.S. Department
of Education’s new Financial
Aid Shopping Sheet for the
2013−2014 award year. Many
of the elements contained in
this new form are the same
as a school’s own financial aid
award letter, though the standardized format should make
it easier to review elements
such as grant and scholarship
amounts, net costs, graduation rates, loan default rates,
median borrowing and estimated monthly loan payments after graduation.

After you receive either
form, here are some next
steps:

A credit check is required, but
the parent’s debt and current
income are not considered.

Federal Direct PLUS loan
for graduate and professional
students—This loan is available to graduate and professional students and can
cover up to 100 percent of
remaining education-related
expenses. A credit check is
required, but the student debt
and current income are not
considered.

Explore additional
financing options:
Tuition payment plan—
Instead of paying your tuition bill in one lump sum
each semester, if offered by
your school, you can enroll
in this plan to make smaller,
manageable installment payments. This plan can be used
on its own or combined with
financial aid, including student loans.
Federal Direct PLUS loan
for parents—This loan is
available for parents of dependent undergraduate students.
This loan can cover up to 100
percent of remaining eligible
education-related expenses.

Private (or alternative) student loans—These loans are
made available to students
through banks and other private lenders. These loans can
typically cover 100 percent of
the remaining costs of eligible
education-related expenses.
Full credit underwriting is
required as well as a debt and
current income. Most students will need a qualified cosigner to meet credit eligibility
requirements.
Know your deadlines and
compare your options: Pay
special attention to the college
application deadlines to make
sure that you take full advantage of these opportunities.

Getting older happens to
all of us, but it can be a frightening experience as we first
recognize our own signs of
aging. Those first few gray
hairs... that morning stiffness... realizing your eyesight
isn’t what it used to be. It may
be a gradual process, but the
signs are certainly clear.
The reality of aging can
bring out a variety of responses. If a person sees aging as a
natural experience and one
associated with gaining wisdom, mid-life can be a positive experience. But for someone who places a lot of value
on the virtues of youth, such
as looks and strength, midlife can seem devastating.
However, there are ways
to combat such feelings and
gain a more a positive attitude
about maturing. One starting
point is simply to make a list
of the lessons that have been
learned since adolescence
and how this knowledge has
served you. On such a list
you’ll probably find your success at work, the ease you now
have at social gatherings, and
your ability to build stronger
personal relationships.
Another positive step can
be to explore new activities to

help you feel healthy and relaxed. No, not that under-30
baseball team, tennis tournament, or hockey league to
“prove” you’ve still got it. That
will only bring frustration
(and probably injuries). Instead, look to jogging, swimming, yoga or other enjoyable
but more age-appropriate activities.
Try becoming more involved with children, your
own or in the community,
and pass on some of the skills
you learned when their age.
You might set some new
goals, both individual and social, that you’d like to achieve,
then begin planning on how
to make them happen. Too
often we find we’re unthinkingly following the plans of
our earlier years, when our
experience and maturity can
instead now give us a clearer
vision of what’s important
and achievable.
Sometimes people find it
very difficult to accept growing older and find it leading to
depression or other problems.
That’s a good time to talk to
a professional counselor. He
or she can’t stop the aging
process, but can assist you
in coming to terms with the
parts of your life that you find
troubling.

The big news that a baby is on
the way is a time for celebration, excitement and planning. Many couples choose
to keep this information quiet
for the first couple of months,
so they can celebrate the upcoming change in their life together. But sometimes, morning sickness for the mom-tobe can let the news out of the
bag earlier than intended.
Morning sickness - pregnancy-related nausea - is very
common, especially during
the first trimester. However,
the problem isn’t the same
for every woman, as the nausea can occur at any time of
day or night (not just in the
morning) and some women
experience it throughout their
pregnancy. For some women,
it’s a minor annoyance. For
others, it can become a serious
issue. No one is sure exactly
what causes it, but hormonal
changes that take place during pregnancy probably play
a role.

Morning sickness relief can be
complicated, too, since many
women try to avoid taking
medications during pregnancy. And what works for one
woman, may not be as effective for another.
Fortunately, if you’re experiencing morning sickness,
there are natural, alternative remedies that can help
control your upset tummy,
and help you keep your news
private until you’re ready to
share. Some are age-old (taking ginger for an upset stomach) and some are leading
edge (using a wrist band to
provide acupressure). Here
are some nonmedicinal remedies you can use to relieve
morning sickness:
* Lifestyle changes - Making
certain changes in your eating habits can also help relieve
morning sickness, according to the Mayo Clinic. The
clinic’s website recommends
mothers-to-be choose foods
that are high-carb, low-fat
and easy to digest, and avoid

* Aromatherapy - Sensitivity
to certain smells is also common during pregnancy and
can even bring on pregnancyrelated nausea. Aromas can
also help relieve symptoms.
Scents like ginger, peppermint and spearmint can help
an unsettled stomach feel better. At home, try potpourri or
sachets scented with these essential oils.
* Acupressure - Just as wearing an acupressure wrist band
can help fight motion sickness, these bands may help
moms-to-be relieve morning
sickness.
For all the joys pregnancy
can bring to your life, you’ll
have to cope with challenges
too. Morning sickness - like
puffy ankles and an expanding waistline - is a reality of
pregnancy, but it doesn’t have
to spoil your enjoyment of this
special time. Natural remedies can help you feel better
without the potential risks of
medication.

“As we move forward, the
financial support of the community is needed to ensure
that The Mexican Museum
achieves its proper place
among other members of the

Torre. People can help by becoming members of The Mexican Museum or by upgrading
current membership levels to

The Builder’s Society membership category enables individuals, businesses and organizations to support the museum

The Mexican Museum collections include more that

Say it with
(not) Flowers
Juan Carlos Miranda
SPECIAL TO
EL OBSERVADOR
So Mother’s Day is just
around the corner and, if
you’re anything like me, you
are waiting until the last
possible minute to run over
to the grocery store, flower
shop, or even the little stand
at the corner of some street
on the east side to buy an
overpriced bunch of half-dying roses for your Mamacita.
Now, I’m not saying there is
anything wrong with that, at
least you’re getting her something. But if you are ready to
be the exemplary son/daughter you always thought you
were, then ditch the wilted
flowers and put a little more
effort to make this Mother’s
Day one she will remember.
I have never in my life
encountered a woman who
didn’t like to smell good.
Women are vain by nature
and moms are no exception.
A good way to show mom
how much you care would be
buying her a new scent, one
that will make her smell and
feel like the goddess she is.
My recommendations when
it comes to good scents are
these: The classic and elegant
Chanel No 5, which ranges
between $60 and $200 depending on the size and add
ons; Angel Perfume by Thierry Mugler, which has some
berry and honey notes with a
touch of vanilla, caramel and
patchouli amongst others.
The price for this perfume
is a little higher starting at
around $80 for an 8oz bottle
but it’s totally worth it.

Now if you want to give
your mom a something she
can show off, and if you’re
able to splurge a little, then
think about buying her every woman’s kryptonite,
right after shoes of course; a
handbag. As far as handbags
go a woman can never have
too many. However, choosing the right one for mom
could get a little trickier. A
woman’s purse is a reflection of herself. You can tell
a lot about a woman just by
looking at her purse, so who
better to know what kind
of purse to buy your mom
than yourself. These are the
designer brands I recommend: Michael Kors for the
sophisticated woman; Louis
Vuitton, for the flashy gals;
Chanel, for the classy ladies;
Dooney & Bourke, for the
fun spouse and Coach for the
queen of the house. Any of
these purses will set you back
anywhere between $200 and
$1500 ,but then again mom
is totally worth it.
Let’s talk kryptonite.
Shoes are a woman’s best
friend, along with diamonds.
But trying to get mom a
pair she will actually love is
a little tricky. You really have

¡Estado de
Ca-ching!

FASHION

to know what she likes, her
shoe size and the brand or
designer she prefers, unless
you know all of these things
I wouldn’t opt for buying her
that really expensive pair of
stilettos, but instead go for
the second best option, a gift
certificate to that fancy shoe
store, or Nordstrom.
Last but not least, anything with diamonds or gold
would be the perfect gift.
Pay a visit to Tiffany and see
what they got, rings, earrings, necklaces whatever
you choose your mom is going to love it.
This year, whatever you
decide to get mom, do yourself a favor and don’t think of
it as an expense; your mom
deserves the world. Maybe
you can’t afford any of the
really expensive items I mentioned, but remember there
are alternatives. The point
is to get you started thinking of other ways in which
to reward your lovely mother
for all the hard work and sacrifice she has gone through
to raise you. ¡Feliz día de las
madres!
